Funny story. Kevin thought it would be a good idea to eat a habanero then kiss me. For the record, it’s a bad idea. His mouth and lips still hurt the next day. Habanero in food is great but not by itself for me.
Hola J Awww thank you very much for watching and sharing also in your IG stories 🤗🤗🤗. I (Geovanny) love to it Habanero, even itself. Once my older brother was working in a restaurant where they needed to chop a lot of Habanero, he was in charge one that day he had finished chopping that and forgot to wash his hands, he got his eyes itchy, so just imagine 🤭🤭🤭. We hope you and Kevin are doing amazing, we send you guys a big big big hug as well kisses from Ted 🐶.
Thank you SO much for watch this amiga 🥰🥰🥰 we really hope you get to visit Bacalar one day - it is the perfect weekend get away to just take it easy 😍🤩❤️🙌
This place is stunning! So glad you finally got to see it with all its colors. We love the time you shared with that family at the lagoon, they were so kind and inviting! Ahhh we can't wait to be in Mexico! 💚🤍♥
Hola amigos 🤗🤗 Yeaaaah, we are so happy to see the lagoon like we had seen it in the pictures, really looks amazing, Mexican families are so wonderful and so humble they just want to make you feel at home!! You guys going to have a blast 🤩🤩🤩. We cannot wait to seeing you here
Hola Celeste 👋👋 Thank you for watching, commenting, and subscribing, we really appreciate it 🙏. You will love Bacalar, it'd be a big change from NYC to Bacalar in the good way 🤩🤩.
Thank you for the videos you are sharing. My husband and I went to Playa del Carmen almost a month ago for our first international travel together in 18 years of marriage. We enjoyed it so much, but I will admit that we spent the majority of our time on the Iberostar Playa Paraíso resort property. We ventured down to Quinta Avenida in Playa del Carmen one afternoon and enjoyed it as a curiosity and a new experience but it was not a place I would choose to go again (the busy shopping district at least). In the less touristy areas like Bacalar is it possible to do OK with limited Spanish and Google translate? It looks beautiful but I would worry about being less than welcome in the places that locals want to enjoy themselves. I am continuing to work on learning Spanish so I will be better prepared when we go to Quintana Roo again, but we will always look like the middle-aged Midwestern United States folks that we are.
Hola Raven 🤗🤗 Thank YOU, for watching our videos, we really appreciate it, it help us so much 🙏. We are residents in PDC and we have said it before we are not such a fans of the 5th Avenue, we feel that is very commercialized, and sometimes we feel that vendors can be very pushy, we always try to be transparent because might be some traveler's that do not enjoy that type of experiences 🤔. Bacalar, is an amazing place, even with little Spanish and with the help of Google Translator, we believe you can have an amazing time, locals really love to see foreign people and share with them what the town has to offer, and at the same time you will be supporting local businesses, which we believe is one of the best things we can do when traveling, supporting small local entrepreneurs, because we know we directly impact their pockets, in a positive way 🥰🥰. Thank you again for watching and commenting, this helps our channel to keep growing and help us to keep creating more and more content for you all 🙏🙏. Saludos amigos and sending you a big hug from PDC 🌊 🇲🇽
We will always treasure these precious memories with you Dan ❤️❤️ what a beautiful place to just take some quality down time to just connect and play and laugh (and eat)😂🙏🥰🙌 cannot wait to have you back 🤗
My wife and I enjoy your videos. Thanks so much for sharing as they really help us plan our next trip to playa del carman. We will be there for six weeks this time around.
Hola Mike and Loretta 🤗 Awww thank you so much guys, we really appreciate your sweet words 🥰🥰. We are so glad our videos are helping you guys to prepare your trip! Are you going to be only in PDC or will you be staying at other places like; Bacalar, Mahahuaal, etc? Sending you all the good vibes from PDC 🌊 🇲🇽
@@ForTheRoadTravels We are in PDC for 4 weeks then have two week which are open and we will work our way south to tulum mahahuaal and baclar xcalac and Acumal. Your video really help pick where to go👍🙏👍
@@SailingvesselLuxor Amazing, you will love Bacalar, is one of our favourite places in the entire state 🥰. Thank you for watching, and commenting, means the world to us and helps us to grow our channel 🙏🙏🤗
Hola Cindy 🤗🤗 Awww that's very sweet to hear 🥰🥰🥰. Yes, we just planned to visit with Dannielle but never thought about making a video, we had an amazing time 🤩🤩. Thanks again for watching Cindy, we send you a big hug from PDC 🌊 🇲🇽
Thank you for your videos, very informative. My family will be traveling to Bacalar in a few days. We will be staying for 5 days. Can't wait to explore.
Hola Saira 👋 Thank you so much for watching our videos, we're glad you found them helpful 🙏. Amazing, you will love Bacalar, it's actually our favourite place in the entire state of Quintana Roo, and it's seaweed-free 🤭. Visit Laguna Bonanza and spend the entire day there try to go during the week. Weekends are busier but it's nice to be among locals as you saw in our video. Have an amazing time and enjoy beautiful Mexico with all your family 🤩🤗. If you are on Facebook or Instagram tags us on your stories we will be happy to see it 🤩.
Hola amigo 🤗 Thank you so much for watching, we are always doing our best to share the tips that helped us during our trips 🤩. OMG if you are in the area the 4 hours drive totally worth in Bacalar, is one of the most beautiful towns in the entire Quintana Roo State, and that lagoon is just incredible 🤩🤩
Hola Churchill 👋 We actually took the bus (they are called ADO) and it's pretty affordable. It takes approximately 4 hours to get from PDC to Bacalar. We cannot recommend enough the buses, are comfortable and always on time. Thank you for watching our video, we are glad you enjoyed it. Saludos amigo 🤗🇲🇽
Looks amazing ! Im so happy she has recovered to the amazing blue waters again 💧! I’ll be over in February and hoping to visit Bacalar! Staying in Akumal ! What would be the best way to get there ? Thanks for sharing ! My favourite country 🇲🇽! It’s beautiful 😍
Yes, it does, as we mentioned in the video we had visited 2 times previously and the lagoon was very affected by the hurricanes, but now is a real GEM. If you are in the area you should pay a visit to Bacalar 🙏🤗. Amazing, we are actually going to Akumal for a project and filming something for our YT channel this upcoming week. The best way to get there from Akumal would be going to Tulum and from there taking a ADO bus all the way to Bacalar, if you take a taxi from Akumal can be a bit expensive. Thank you for loving Mexico so much 🙏🇲🇽, where are you from? Again thanks for watching, and commenting we truly appreciate it 🙏🥰
Hola Amigos 🤗 No, from Bacalar. We actually were last week working on a project there, we had never been there before, and we feel is a town where time just stopped there 🤔. Saludos Mike & Laura 🤩🤩
Great video as always!! My gosh great to see so much there it will be on our list of places to go for a visit...how long a drive from Akumal/Tulum area we are staying 2023 in that area and would like to do a day trip to Bacalar but think maybe a day trip isn't enough time? Viv
Hola Vivian and Darrell 🤗🤗 OMG, Mexico is a massive country and here in the Quintana Roo State, there are still some hidden gems yet to explore 🤭🤭. From Akumal/Tulum is about 3 hours drive, we wouldn't suggest Bacalar for a day trip at the very least one night, but ideal 2 night would be ideal, to get the most out of this beautiful Pueblo Mágico 🙏🤩. Thank you again for watching and for your support 🙏. We really appreciate it. 🥰
@@ForTheRoadTravels wow i would not have thought it was so far but for sure i feel it would be a two night stay...thank you!! Keep up the great work love your channel...viv
Hey amigo 😀😀 you must be so excited for your trip 🤩 restaurants definitely should use filtered water to make their ice. You can always ask: 'el hielo esta hecho de agua purificada?' just to be sure 😃🙌 Hope you have the best trip 🌴
Is Bacalar do able on a day trip from PDC ? Been debating whether to rent a car or not for the whole trip. But scared of getting lost, getting pulled over by cops, parking, and long long hours of driving. But trying to catch buses and taxes and or running on a tour schedule sounds complicated too lol wanna experience and see as much as we can . What do you guys advice?
Hey Elizabeth ☺️☺️ we actually wouldn’t recommend Bacalar as a day trip because it’s around 4.5 hours one way (by ADO bus at least)👀 if you’re going to go, we’d definitely recommend at least one night there but no more than two nights because it’s very small and easy to move around by foot 🙌🙌 we’ve actually never rented a car in The Riviera Maya for any of our trips and found that between using the ADO bus service to get from city to city and the odd taxi here and there to move around the cities has worked perfectly 😊😊 Tbh, using public transportation has been easy for us because Geovanny is fluent in Spanish, but if you can’t speak Spanish, it would be pretty difficult to get around. We’ve heard that there so many scams going on with those rental services that we’ve always just avoided it 🤭also, the one time we did rent a car to go to a Cenote, I found that driving here was pretty chaotic. Most of the spots you’ll explore in this region are super walkable and I think having a rental car may be more of a stress than just using buses and taxis 🙌🙌 we hope that this is helpful for you guys 🤗
Yeah the only reason why I wanted to rent a car its because I wanted to visit lots of cenotes in Tulum. But I kept hearing the cenotes were quite far apart from each other so a car was the safest bet. And, also for Chichenitza, some of the cenotes there as well, plus visiting Valladolid. But now that I hear you saying the buses and taxis are a great way to easily get around from one city to another. Im definitely relieved. Thank you!!
Hey Toby ☺️☺️ we live in PDC and we’re down near the beach 3 days ago and sargassum situation was pretty bad. But we’ve read articles saying that they’re busy installing sargassum barriers, so we’ll see how it goes ☺️ but if you find yourself here when it’s bad, there are really beautiful cenotes here, as well as Bacalar lagoon 🙌😍🇲🇽 saludos a Mexico 👋
@@ForTheRoadTravels Thank you so much! We’re staying less than a mile from playa 88 so hopefully it’s ok. Definitely plan to check out some cenotes as well!
That’s a great spot to be based in - very centralized 🙌 the cenotes are so perfect for that mid Summer heat 🔥🙌 we hope you guys have the most amazing time in PDC🇲🇽
